Gaz de France might get 9 percent of Nord Stream
The two German partners in the Nord Stream company, BASF/Wintershall and E.ON Ruhrgas, are both willing to lower their shares in the project in order to include the French gas major Gaz de France.
Both the two German companies are ready to give the French company a nine percent stake, Oilru.com reports with reference to Interfax.
As BarentsObserver previously has reported, analysts have also speculated about the possible engagement of GDF Suez in the project.
The 1220 km long Nord Stream pipeline is to run through the Baltic Sea and become the first direct gas pipeline connection between Russia and the EU.
